I design. I code. I create music.

New Layer Dialog in Photoshop

The ability to name a layer at creation without having to “double-click” to edit the layer name afterwards.

When doing image retouching I like to use a “non-destructive” dodge & burn layer on a layer filled with 50% gray and set to an Overlay blending mode. When selecting this blending mode in New Layer dialog box, it enables a checkbox and adds 50% gray to that layer automatically.
